A concept vehicle that previews the next-generation Ford Edge made
its debut recently at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The sleek and athletic
crossover also previewed two new technologies for the company.The first is an enhancement to the active
park-assist feature found on Blue Oval products like the current Ford
Edge, designed to make things even easier for owners. That’s because the
new system not only offers fully autonomous parking capabilities, it
can also “un-park” the vehicle, and do so before the driver even gets
behind the wheel. As a result, owners who find themselves in a tight
(parking) spot don’t have to struggle to get into the vehicle; they can
just wait for the Ford Edge Concept to pull out of the space by itself.
Also being shown on the Ford Edge concept is adaptive steering, which
takes the company’s electric power-assisted steering system to the next
level with dramatically easier low-speed steering and improved feel at
all speeds. But those two technologies are just the tip of the ol’
iceberg for Ford.
“The rate of change in vehicle technology right now is
unprecedented,” noted Raj Nair, Ford group vice president of global
product development. “Our engineers around the world are advancing the
systems that will ultimately help make drivers smarter, safer and more
efficient. From advanced engine systems to collision avoidance and
automated driving systems, Ford will continue to lead in delivering the
technologies consumers want and need.”
Further, if the new Ford Edge Concept is any indication, those
technologies will be wrapped in striking designs created with
significant attention to detail.
“The original Ford Edge offered customers in North America a fresh,
compelling choice for an accommodating, efficient and safe medium
utility vehicle,” said Joe Hinrichs, executive vice president and
president of The Americas, Ford Motor Company. “The next-generation
Edge—previewed in the Ford Edge Concept—will build on these cornerstones
to create a global vehicle with technology to make life easier, and
design and craftsmanship to appeal to customers around the globe.”

Even though the 2014 Ford F-150 is the best-selling vehicle in America, Blue Oval engineers remain committed to offering truck buyers more benefits on a regular basis. The latest example comes to market from the Show-me State, which has now begun building 2014 Ford F-150 models that are capable of running on compressed natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas. It’s another first for Ford, which is now the only manufacturer with an available gaseous-fuel prep package for its half-ton pickups.

The system is a $315 option on the 2014 Ford F-150 with its 3.7-liter V-6 engine, with upfitting from a Ford Qualified Vehicle Modifier, running approximately $6,000 to $9,000. But that price of admission delivers a range of up to 750 miles, the ability to run on an affordable and clean-burning fuel, and in a growing number of states, access to a range of tax incentives and rebates. At the same time, Ford is providing a growing number of CNG-capable vehicles.

By the end of next summer, customers will be able to choose a CNG package for:

This is good news for folks like Jerome Webber, vice president of global fleet operations for AT&T. According to Webber: “We’re almost halfway to our company-wide goal of deploying 15,000 alternative-fuel vehicles by the end of 2018. Vehicles such as CNG F-350s from Ford have helped us avoid purchasing 7.7 million gallons of gasoline over the past five years while reducing our fleet’s emissions.”
